Fourth round of “American Laureate”. We have seen our candidates perform in the Confessional, Slam, & Cowboy Poetry genres; each time an aspirant has been eliminated.

"All is laughter, all is dust, all is nothing." I might retranslate (paraphranslate) it thus:
"Laughter is all—& trembling dust—& vacancy:
it all grows out of senselessness."

{alternately: for all that is, is born of chaos.]
